FAQS about Bulgaria develops solar power

Will Bulgaria's new solar power plant increase solar power generation?

The Verila project, which is being built in hilly terrain south of Sofia, will increase solar power generation in the country by 12 percent. The construction of Bulgaria’s largest solar power plant is due to be completed by spring 2023. The new power plant, south of Sofia will generate green electricity with a capacity of 124 megawatts peak.

How big is Bulgaria's solar power?

In a matter of months, Bulgaria’s total solar power capacity is set to exceed 3 GW, compared to just 1.3 GW at the end of 2021. The lineup in the list of the largest photovoltaic plants is changing almost every week as major facilities come online, and there is more in the pipeline.

What percentage of Bulgaria's electricity is generated by solar power?

Solar power generated 12% of Bulgaria’s electricity in 2023. By the end of 2020 about 1 GW of solar PV had been installed. It has been estimated that there is potential for at least another 4 GW by 2030. On March 13, 2023, peak photovoltaics power was 30% of Bulgaria electricity generation.

What is the biggest solar PV plant to be built in Bulgaria?

This is also one of the biggest solar PV plants to be constructed in Bulgaria in recent years. With the solar PV plant, Aurubis Bulgaria will save some 11.700 MWh per year from grid electricity consumption (sufficient for approx. 12.000 households), which will cover an average of 2.5% of the electricity needs of its smelter facility.

What type of electricity does Bulgaria have?

Bulgaria has a relatively diverse electricity mix that consists of both conventional power plants, as well as renewables. The largest share of the electricity supply comes from lignite coal power plants (40%), followed by the only nuclear power plant in the country (36%) and renewables (19%).

What should Bulgaria do about solar energy?

The authorities in Bulgaria need to take steps to systematically reduce barriers, fees, and surcharges on small and medium-sized solar PV systems, make it easier to connect to the grid and export the surplus electricity, and create a comprehensive policy and regulatory environment to catalyse investments.
